This castle was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains one of the rare medieval fortified buildings in Ile-de-France

We owe the origins of this fortress to Guy I of Montlhéry, who had a keep and a chapel built in the 11th century. The castle gradually grew until it became the imposing building of which we can contemplate the remains today. The building was the witness of the Hundred Years War and remains, thanks to its intact machicolations, one of the rare medieval fortified buildings of Ile-de-France. Its interior courtyard offers a superb panorama of the Chevreuse valley. The visitor can walk around, climb the ramparts and visit the cellars.

L'un des châteaux forts médiévaux les mieux conservés de toute la région parisienne. Il domine la vallée de chevreuse et la vue d'en haut est magnifique. Une pépite protégée de l'urbanisation de Paris.

Mon expérience remonte à très loin puisque mes arrières grands parents en étaient les gardiens et ma mère y a passé une partie de son enfance elle vivait dans une maison là où se trouve aujourd'hui la Maison du Parc. Elle a vu notamment les allemands et ensuite l arrivée des américains. Après c est l'oncle de ma mère qui a assuré le gardiennage du château et assurait les visites. On rentrait côté cour entre les 2 tours. Certains dimanche avec ma mère nous nous mettions près du puits pour faire une animation qui me semblait magique à l'époque elle mettait le feu à des journaux et les faisaient tomber dans ce puits pour montrer la profondeur. Que de beaux souvenirs pour moi
